What are endothermic vertabrates?

Endothermic vertebrates, also known as warm-blooded animals, are species that can regulate their body temperature internally, maintaining it at a stable level regardless of environmental conditions. This group primarily includes birds and mammals. Their ability to generate heat through metabolic processes allows them to thrive in diverse habitats, even in extreme weather conditions. This physiological adaptation supports higher levels of activity and greater endurance compared to ectothermic (cold-blooded) vertebrates.
